Singingworks does the best teambuilds EVER. We can do anything from a simple one hour rush of vocal adrenalin with one of our amazing Musical Directors to putting on a large scale public performance complete with orchestra, band, lights, staging, film…we’ll go as far as you want to.
► Performing in public forces people out of their comfort zone – we “feel” how much we need each other when faced with a performance challenge and that fear welds people together. You’ll have never have seen your team more united.
► Singing forces us to reveal our true selves. We have to use our own voice. Our voices are a unique and powerful part of our identity. When you sing together you get to meet your colleagues as they really are: amazing.
► Singing forces all our gifts to the surface. Our “victims” never believe that they are going to be able to perform a BIG piece of music, in at least 4 part harmony, possibly in another language, maybe with moves, in two hours flat……and do it brilliantly.
► Walk out to a richly deserved standing ovation. It’s this journey from panic and fear (when we tell people what they are going to be doing -after we’ve locked the doors!) to euphoria and triumph, that make our performance challenges unforgettable.
► We often do a 20-30 minute training session beforehand where we explain some of the things they will be learning from the performance experience: the 12 ways in which “choir” is a perfect metaphor for a harmonious and effective team; the roles people play in a team; how the inner voice determines performance…
► We pick challenging (but well known) music, that’s suits the size and age range of your team and the time available: we’ve done, Bohemian Rhapsody, Verdi, Carmina Burana, Faure…
► Our Musical Directors are not just brilliant musicians but performers who know how to work a crowd, while getting them to learn quickly and have fun…
► We bring in four professional singers (one on each part) to sing with you – this builds early confidence, helps people learn quickly and provides you (and us) with a bit of a safety net…
► We can bring in fabulous musicians to provide a live accompaniment. It could be some strings, percussion, piano’s, a small orchestra, a backing band…
► We can bring in a small film crew to film the event- to put on your website, to send round the office, to put up on You Tube, to send as a “singing” gift to clients…
► We can help you organise T- Shirts, venues, props, staging, lighting…
► We can tailor the event to your budget…

It depends where and when you’re having your event but in the past we’ve performed in the lobby, in the staff canteen, at a big conference for the other delegates, at a celebration dinner, at a concert with a choir of homeless people or just for the camera..…..and we love it when you decide to use your performance to raise a bit of money for your favourite charity and reach out to an even wider audience.
